This is also happening to me. Although it is a minor bug, it is annoying

Thats not a bug. if you have an enchanted item in your hand it will sparkle while paused. pausing isn't suppose to pause animations just movment.

Since it does not affect gameplay at all, I would be fine with Kaleb answer and mark as "Work as Intended". What the mods think, should we wait for a developer response?

I remember experiencing this from back in 1.8 when Enderman were first added (I was a new player back then). However, I cloned this as MC-5456 as people have said it occurs with all in-game animations. I will test it more throughly tommorow.

This is actually working as intended.
See for example the the torches.
